The Executive Board for the Iowa League of Cities recently amended its By -Laws to add an Audit Committee to
assist the board with its financial oversight. The by -laws specifically established the committee in the following
manner:
AUDIT COMMITTEE. The Audit Committee shall consist of the President -Elect of the Executive
Board, who shall act as Chair of the Audit Committee; one Director from the League's Executive Board; and
three other persons selected by the Executive Board from League member cities with experience in budget,
finance and accrual accounting, such as finance directors or finance officers. The purpose of the Audit Committee
is to review the audited financial statements prepared by the League's auditor, meet with the auditor to discuss the
audit, and submit a recommendation regarding the audit to the League Executive Board.
League President Kris Gulick of Cedar Rapids has requested that I contact you to determine whether you would
be interested and willing to serve on the initial committee.
The work of the audit committee can be accomplished via a telephone conference call that includes
representatives from the League's auditing firm. A draft copy of the audit will be sent to you via email prior to
the meeting.
I would request that you reply to this email whether you are willing to assist the League by serving on this
committee. Once the committee is constituted, a meeting can be scheduled and a copy of the draft audited
financial statements forwarded to you.
Thank you for your consideration of this request and I look forward to hearing from you.
